moment. they're really struggling to keep up max foster. thanks very much. >> the news >> continues right here on cnn >> how fraud next trump has to trial the date of his first criminal case now set as a judge shoots down efforts to delay it. yet again, the president, though also scoring and important lifeline today. plus breaking news, federal agents descending on at least two homes of wrapper, sean diddy combs. just what would homeland security they looking for and a special report tonight. and how one of elon musk's companies is helping russians on the battlefield. let's go out front good evening, america hill in for erin burnett out front tonight denied a federal judge rejecting donald trump's efforts to further delay what will be his first criminal trial. and the first ever for former president of the united states. the so-called hush money cases now slated to start three weeks from today on april 15

>> i don't know how you can have a trial. that's going on right the middle of an election. not fair. not fair? >> well today was certainly a blow to team trump's at time trusted legal strategy of attack and delay. the judge in the case really laying into trump's attorneys for making what he called incredibly an unbelievably serious allegations without the evidence to back them up saying, quote you're literally accusing them and hadn't da's office and the people assigned to this case, of engaging in prosecutorial misconduct and i'm trying to make me complicit in it >> and you don't have a single site. so support that position the judge clearly familiar with trump's tactics and also ready to get this case started. >> and it may be the >> only criminal trial donald trump face it says before the election here are the other three at play right now there is, of course, a classified documents case in florida which was supposed to begin in may, but the judge has said she's now considering a new date in georgia, the election subversion case is slated to begin in august. that date, though also in jeopardy, and

the january 6 cases on hold at the moment pending the supreme court's decision on trump's claim of presidential immunity, which makes the stormy daniels hush money case. the only one likely to be tried before november's election as a former president prepares to go to trial. he's also celebrating a victory in a different case today, that new york civil fraud trial and appeals court today, throwing donald trump a lifeline, reducing that massive four under $64 bond by more than half. >> he >> now has ten days to pay $175 million, which means that trump for now will not have to sell or worry about authority seizing his properties or is he referred to them today is babies seem it's paula read is out front, live outside the new york city courthouse. so paula, all in all a good day in some respects for donald trump. if we look at that figure least >> i think it was a a good day, erica, he had that bond reduced and even today was supposed to be the first day of his first criminal trial. and he still

has not faced a criminal prosecution yet, even though one it is now, once again, on the calendar. so overall a good day, but even by trump's standards, today was dramatic. trump was in the courthouse right behind me when he found out that a different court, the court of appeals, had dramatically lowered that bond that he was struggling to pay. now, he later said that he will now be able to post that bond since has been reduced, and that will stave off enforcement of that civil fraud case until later this year. but arca, he was not able to stay off this first criminal case, the judge saying that jury selection will begin in three weeks, this case is expected to last around six weeks. it'll go four days a week with wednesdays off and trump is required to attend that's going to stretch into the heart of campaign season. so we expect to trump is going to try to turn this into it campaign event, continuing to try to paint himself as a victim of an unfair or corrupt system. >> but it's interesting today >> to watch the judge. judge won were sean, who'll be overseeing this case? he made

it pretty clear that any sort of political stunts need to stop at the courtroom door because one of the reasons that we were in court today, not to begin the trial, but to have a hearing is because trump's lawyers had accused the district attorney's office of prosecutorial misconduct, something the judge said was extremely serious and significant, accusing them of withholding documents, working with federal investigators so withhold documents from the trump team. but under questioning from the judge, it was clear that trump team really didn't have anything to support that. and the judge was clearly angry. he raised his voice and said, i cannot believe that you don't have a single citation. no case law, no evidence to support this accusation it was clearly a shot across the bow, a warning not to try to score political points by making baseless attacks in this courtroom. but eric, as we've seen in the other, to trump trials that we've covered here in new york over the past few months. trump can't help himself and often his lawyers cannot either. so this is going to be a challenge not only for the former president, but also for this judge, how do you rein this in? it will certainly be a campaign

season. unlike any other >> that is, yes, indeed it will. that's for sure, paula. thank you, my friend. appreciate it. i'll run now. erik larson, legal reporter for bloomberg news and ryan goodman are out front legal analysts around. let's start with just a couple of practical questions as we move into this, the fact that this is supposed to start on april 15th. jury selection is supposed to start. then what's the over-under on that? do you believe we're actually going to see this trial start april 15th? >> i think so. and i think the judge things too as well. one of his parting words to everybody in the courtroom was see you on the 15th even though the trump attorneys did say they're going to try one more last hfr to say that they want to postpone it. it doesn't look like like it's going to be postponed. i think we're going to all be here together on tax day, april 15? yes. when the they open for jury selection tax, they also patriot's day and massachusetts very important for the marathon. donald trump said today, he would testify this is not the first time that we've heard that from donald trump. if you're his attorney, ryan, would you put the former president on sand? >> i would advise him mightily not to do that because generally speaking, defendants do not go in the stand. but

he's not a very good witness or he wouldn't be very good witness in the box. he seemed out of control when he was in the deposition for eugene carol. as one example, there's actually an adverse finding against him in the civil four for all trial when he did testify met he wasn't credible. so the idea that he would go forward in this trial, i don't think it's a good idea. and if anything, it could actually cement some of the evidence that the prosecutors need to prove and might have difficulty proving without his testimony. so i think he would even hand them something. >> eric, you if followed so much of this so closely, you've spent a whole lot of time in courtrooms covering donald trump, the fact that this judge today was so clearly irritated and really called out donald trump's legal team, right? that they couldn't cite case law. they didn't have anything essentially to backup these very serious allegations based on what you've seen from donald trump's legal team, does it surprise you that they got to that moment in the courtroom where the judge said you really should have been better prepared here. >> no, it really doesn't surprise me only because we've seen this sort of thing

happened in the earlier trials that we've had so far with the e gene carol defamation case, the new york attorney general case, his lawyers clashing with the judges at times, especially when trump has been on the witness stand so it actually it is not too surprising his loyalty there's like to show him that they're earning their money by making these arguments, they made a big deal last week about saying that this evidence had been handed over to late. why had this happened? the judge, today said to them, when did you request this evidence? when did you subpoena it? why didn't you do it months ago? the implication being that there's delay strategy might have been intentional or at least that they were at fault. and the judge obviously shouted down part of that and shooting it down to was also calling out, what have donald trump's attorneys saying, hey, your formal federal prosecutor obviously paris phrasing here. and this is how you're presenting things and this is the work you've done that i think says a lot and also raises questions for people about what can we expect from this, judge, at trial. >> it's a great question and

just to put the record straight and like the judge the judge or had a trial. he was the judge in the trump organization criminal trial and widely respected for the way in which he manages the courtroom. and in fact, allan why sober trump's former cfo said of judge merchant that he showed them the utmost respect, understood their role as advocates. so this is a judge who is even killed, doesn't lose it in any sense. and here he was obviously quite upset very much with the lawyers and how they're making claims that were outrageous in a certain sense, needed to be supported because of how exceptionally they were criticizing the prosecutors, basically saying the prosecutors are engaged in a conspiracy of hiding evidence from them without any support. so i think this is a remarkable setting of the table for the trial by the judge who's well i'll respect for being able to control this room. >> ryanair see with this is one and bringing now we hadn't even rocha, who's with us. the da in westchester county, new york, also former division chief for the sdn, why and meanie, you know, todd blanche very well. you worked together

was it surprising at all to you to see your former colleague called out in that way? >> well, i think it was appropriate the as brian, i think explained the defense here went beyond just saying, hey, we got a lot of documents and we need time to go through them, which of course is an appropriate argument and prosecutors always should be as transparent as possible in turn things over. but he really they the defense team really accused i think, unfairly, based on what the judge said today the prosecutors have misconduct and that's so serious i mean, for any lawyer, but particularly prosecutors, and to throw that around in a way that according to the judge, was not warranted. this judge who really calls balls and strikes, said, in fact, i think the da's office here seems to have gone above and beyond. in other words, they not only fulfill

their obligations under the law, but they went beyond that and so i was not surprised in sense because i think that is part of a judge's job is to sort of police, if you will the rhetoric and accusations that get thrown around in heated cases like this >> let's take with you from it because i want to get your take two and what we saw from the kills cord today, so reducing this judgment to $175 million for that bond, i also found it interesting that the order basically said that there had been an order barring donald trump and his sons from running a business in new york, also from obtaining a loan from a financial institution in the state of new york. they put a pause on that was that surprising at all to you that stay >> no. in the sense that appeals courts do in general things to preserve the status quo as much as possible until the merits of the case are

rolled on i mean, it probably everyone who has been filed pulling these cases notice that by now because we've seen that in other cases as well, but that's kind of a tried and true principle of appellate courts to preserve the status quo as much as possible because once there is harm, once they're to a party, it's harder. you can't undo it and so they tried to hold things in place and i'm obviously don't know why they did what they did, but i know it is consistent with that principle of appellate courts. >> there's been some talk about the number two that we got you. so it was $464 million. this bond reduced to 175 million, which means that it is unlikely donald trump will have to sell any of his properties that anything will need to be seized. a 60% reduction from the appeals court did that surprise you? >> it's supposed to be a little bit and it's now returned to read the tea leaves of what that might mean on the part of the appeals courts. so it might mean didn't give us >> much information about a paragraph >> no accompanying opinion.

>> they told us that how they ruled >> and i >> think that it could be that they are a bit skeptical of judge, anger and ruling in terms of how much he found that needs to be discouraged from trump's companies. so it's not about the underlying ruling of systematic fraud, but it might be that the scope, this 464 million might be to them too high. so it's better to just choose a lower number going into the appeals process or could that be seen as a setback for the ag? >> it's definitely a setback for the attorney general today. this is not what they wanted to have happen. they had told the appeals court that if trump was not forced to post the entire bond, that there was a risk that he wouldn't pay the award if his appeal failed that he just simply could not be trusted and they were very adamant about that they wanted 120% of the judgment put up front in order for him to appeal. >> so >> it is a big setback for the attorney general. i think they've probably are perhaps making peace with it and ready

to move on. >> but it also remains to be seen whether trump will actually post the bond. he did say he will, but he also has to follow through on that and he has ten days to do so >> i know we're all waiting for the next ten days, so be watching for that. eric ryan made me really appreciate you being with us tonight. thank you. i'll front next to trump claiming his mounting legal fees are hurting now his reelection chances i would also like to be able to use some of my cash to get elected, which is interesting because it's been awhile since donald trump >> use his own money to get elected, plus breaking news, homeland security rating the homes of sean diddy combs in california and florida. we have new details about this investigation, just coming in here and rfk junior flirting with the libertarian party. now, meeting with the chair of the organization, could that be his ticket to make sure we get something valid in dozens of states >> the sun as much caitlin

far less than he had promised. not surprisingly, he began fundraising off of today's developments almost immediately calling this bond reduction a huge victory. but also warning now is not the time to celebrate he has to use some of his own money for that bond. right. but that's not just a hit to his bank account, david, it's also a hit, isn't it? to his ego >> yeah. >> i would say erica, look, this is the trump organization is the crown jewels. this is what donald trump created. he created trump tower. all these properties, mara largo and the t-shirt james going after this is really, really kind of i don't want to say angers the president, but angers me. he sees that this is, this is a fraud with no fraud and so it really does make them angry so does that makes them angry? i found it interesting here and that the biden campaign was really quick to weigh in today, calling donald trump, quote, week and desperate, both as a man at, as a candidate for president. trump is repeatedly

invoked. biden zane when he talks about his legal troubles, claiming without evidence of the president is somehow calling the shots here, even when it comes to state cases. this is karen, would you have advised the biden campaign to jump on this or is it better to stay away, especially given how donald trump likes to connect joe biden to his legal issues yeah. >> i think they took the opportunity today because it does as you pointed out, it cuts to the very heart of who donald trump believes that he is. and the image of himself that he is built over many decades. it also his statements today, he did sound weak because he sounded like he was actually affirming the charge in the case, which was he overinflate it his investments, therefore, he does not actually have the money and he is not interested in spending and his own money >> so i would >> say that normally with someone like trump, you would want to be mindful of how often you're going to let yourself get drug in. but i think they took this opportunity today because again, it was a cut at

exactly that. what we've been seeing on fold and the fact that many people do think he's a fraud and do think that look, if you have the money, just go ahead and pay for it, don't whine about it. >> there's been a lot of questions about where the money would come from over the last several days. of course, that really came to a head last week. and then with this ruling from the appeals court, made it a little easier. but david donald trump was asked specifically this afternoon whether he would accept money from a foreign government or for his bond or other legal fees. i want to play that exchange for you a foreign government to pay the ball under finds or no, i don't i don't do that. i i think you'd be allowed to possibly. i don't know if you go borrow from a big bank, many of the banks are outside of this. as you know, the biggest banks, frankly are outside of our country so you could do that, but i don't need to borrow money. i have a lot of money to be clear, the question wasn't

about a bank. the question was specifically, would you ever accept money from a foreign government to pay the bond or your fines or any of your legal bills. he's attorney telling cnn last week that he would not take money from a foreign government. do you believe david that is really off the table? >> yeah uh clearly, you heard you heard the former president there say, no, i wouldn't do it. and any talked about how most of the big banks are outside. i'm sure his mind skipped immediately to deutsche bank or his. he did lots of business in the past, so he clearly, clearly took it off the table, is not going to happen. everybody can relax, present there. trump is not going to be borrowing money from some foreign country is as many people. what if he borrows money to pay the debt or the then there'll be on the hook. what did he borrows money. he's not gonna do it. he said he's not gonna do it. there's a meme going around now on on, on social media where he says, how are you going to post the bond? and he says cash, right? and so let's. see what happens in ten days >> how many days are you putting on this? how long do you think until he pays

outdated >> how many days until he's got ten days till till i posted. is that what do i know? i know >> how many days he has what i'm saying is, when do you think do you think it'll be because if the cache is there why not just, you know, check this box >> i think there'll be a day. i think i think it would be day ten. >> okay. karen, when you look at all this, some >> of the concerns that people were raising about potentially foreign money were concerns about if he becomes president again, could there be a national security issue again, he's attorney saying no we heard donald trump say there. do you believe it's fully off the table >> no, i don't. because that answers sounded like trump's speak for well, maybe because he said, well, no, but but i could you could because the big bank that's that kind of permission string structure he tends to grant himself after he will say one thing and then kind of open the door. look, i

think regardless, there will be open questions. it is a national security risk for someone to be this much in debt. >> but i >> think it opens the question between now and election day, who and where will he get the money? even, if it's not a foreign dollars, who in this country is what group of donors will help to put up the money and what will they expect for those dollars? and those are very legitimate question that will be asked between now and election day karen, funny. david urban smog. >> come on. i'm just going to say, yeah, i just going to say like if you're going to talk about donors and the same goes true for joe biden, who is out begging for money in hollywood, begging for money in new york begging for money in silicon valley. same old shoe there money and politics. well, what a marriage. thank you both. good to see you >> out front next you do have this breaking news that we want to share with you, live pictures out of miami were federal agents are rating the home of hip-hop moguls. john, did combs. and we have new details. at this hour about

security, josh campbell is out front, so josh, what more do we know about what these federal agents are actually looking for? >> yeah. erica, you know, in that first video that we just showed there in los angeles, there's a key tail there and that is the agency that is leading the investing in this raid. as you mentioned, this is the department of homeland security is homeland security investigation agency, which if people aren't familiar with, they are primary investigative arm of dhs typically involved in transnational criminal issues, but they also have significant experience and work really with a lot of effort towards countering human trafficking. and so again, we specifically don't know what the criminal violation or potential criminal violation is at play here. but the very fact that it is hsi that is leading this investigation gives us some indication. otherwise, we would see, you know, perhaps the fbi or irs and other agencies. now, we did get a statement in just a short time ago from h yes, i confirming their involvement at both of these residents. i'll read you part of that statement. they

say that earlier today, hsi, new york executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation with assistance from hsi la hsi miami and our local law enforcement partners. that appears erica, that these two law enforcement actions happen simultaneously. you can imagine the amount of coordination that would go into that from coast-to-coast with federal agents proceeding to descend on these particular locations. now, right now, no indication that combs himself is a specific target or subject of the investigation, but sirius, a breaking news today, federal agents on his property now, at least according to these areas, it appears that they will be there for quite some time. this looks i just from my background, law enforcement as this was a search warrant execution that is likely at play here just with the number of personnel, how they're set up. of course, we'll wait and see the key reason they're there, erica this is really for a lot of people, this is jumping to the top of their headlines at this hour because there have been several legal issues that sean combs has

faced in recent months. >> now exactly. i mean, if you look, go back and look just in last november, he was sued for rape and abuse by a former partner on both parties quickly settled that civil lawsuit after it was filed. but then in december, he faced sexual assault allegations that according to a complaint that was filed in the southern district of new york, it was a suit brought by a woman who was known just as jane doe in court documents, who said that she was 17 at the time of the alleged assault back in 2003. now, combs, of course, has vehemently denied any allegation. but as you look at some of the past allegations, particularly indicating alleged sex trafficking, again, we're not connecting the dots yet between the raids in that activity, but at least a wave of those allegations. now seeing this particular federal agency, the lead here, does give us some indication of where this is possibly leading. yeah. all right. josh, we know you'll say on it and bring us any updates as they come in. appreciate it. thank you. >> sure >> also tonight, vladimir putin claiming without evidence that ukraine was involved in the moscow terrorist attack that

left at least 139 dead who does finally acknowledging the radical islam is carried out that attack three days after the turgor bicycling responsibility. this also comes after the man allegedly behind that attack arrived in a russian court, heavily bruised, bandaged bloodied. one of them in a wheelchair, appearing unconscious this is images on social media also appear to show some of the men being tortured. fred packet is out front >> search and rescue crews sift through the charred remains of the concert hall outside a sea of flowers continues to grow as thousands more than the victims of the worst terror attack russia in decades. >> it does this launching soon? >> no one should remain indifferent in such moments, this woman says, we must honor their memory and understand we are all facing this tragedy. i say tiers slow, but we're all here together i witness videos show the brutality as the attackers swept the crocus city hall entertainment complex.

isis has claimed responsibility for the attack the terror group released this video through the isis affiliated emoc news agency, allegedly filmed by the attackers them selves as they killed more than 130 people also setting the building on fire, leading to a massive blaze that caused the roof to partially collapse the us says it has no reason to doubt isis is claim and russia has been at war with the group during moscow is brutal aerial campaign in syria supporting the assad regime. i traveled to deir ez-zor in eastern syria with the russian military in 2017 as the battle raged the russian armies push isis back. there still are a lot of ice. the sliders here in this area. that's why taking the helicopter it's the safest way to get to their is the alleged gunman >> all of them from >> tajikistan are now in russian custody. three of them

pleaded guilty in moscow court this weekend. but the russians still won't acknowledge an isis link. vladimir putin instead claiming the attackers had ties to ukraine his name >> we know that the crime was committed by the hands of radical islamists, trollers of the ideology that there's limbic world itself has been fighting against for centuries of course, it is necessary to answer the question, why after committing the crime, the terrorists tried to go to ukraine. >> the suspects bore signs of abuse as they were arraigned. one seemingly semi-conscious in a wheelchair. and video on social media seems to show russian security services mistreating. another one of the men when confronted with questions about possible torture of detainees, the kremlin refusing to reply during, you know, the spokesman said, i leave this question without an answer. >> and >> erica, russian court ordered three additional people placed under arrest today. one of them is the former owner of the car

that the alleged attackers use to try and make a getaway. and of course, the russians continued to claim they were heading towards ukraine. erica fats the latest force tonight, right. thank you. >> i'll frond now, russian investigative journalists, andre sold the top and seth jones, he senior vice president at the center for strategic and international studies. it's good to see both views. so i'll drink following these attacks and now these really graphic images of the suspects. how is all that landing for the russian people? i see puett and trying to show some strength in those moments is that the message that they're getting >> southern? it is. the problem is that there is a general feeling of xenophobia towards central asian migrants and russian society, which has been cultivated for quite some time by the russian authorities and which means that a lot of people do not believe that people from central asia actually are capable of organizing such an attack. and there is also a general feeling of ms which is a fertile ground

for all kinds of crazy conspiracy theories, putting knows how to play this game. he knows how to use vsphere now, he is charming intelligence failure in an ammunition to attack the west and attack ukraine >> the fact that he finally acknowledged, set that radical is lamas were actually behind this attack was interesting but he went on to continue claiming with no evidence that ukraine was still somehow involved. you've noted that russia is actually a top target for isis. why is that >> well, there are several reasons why. one is that starting in 2015, the russians were involved directly in the war in syria backing the assad regime against to range of militant groups. one of them was isis. so over the course of 2016, frankly through today, they've been involved in attacks against isis in syria. but we've also seen just because of the russians have conducted tax, sorry, isis has

conducted attacks against russia the us, and all major governments in the region just because they consider these kinds of governments infidel. so we saw in 2022, ice is k isis course on conduct a major attack against the russian embassy in kabul. so they've been a target as an infidel i'll regime for years >> when we look at how this is playing out inside russia, i think it's really important to show what we're seeing from russian state media, which is of course following putin's lead, i want to play just a little bit of what folks are saying its moment >> resume, which you get set up in a very simple way nowadays, it's ukraine. ukraine is a proxy force of american and british military and intelligence services. does anyone have any doubt as to who did this? >> so andre, you know, there's his grip on the narrative that we were just talking about that vladimir putin has there's been a significant crack on dissent

and outside media, of course, since russia invaded ukraine you talk about the narrative that had been there in terms of central asia what about this persistent narrative of its all, all ill sort of stem from ukraine and the united states well it should be part of a broader narrative for the crammed and russia is besieged, fortress, which has been under >> attack from the west for many, many years and put in today much on that visit, attack started at less than 2014 basically claiming that revolution and key was part of his conspiracy hiroshi against russia unfortunately, because of all this propaganda, lots of people into country believe that and would accept that. >> when we look at what is happening here, set this isis offshoot known as isis k pulled off the attack. what are you hearing about their other ambitions, their capabilities? to conduct additional attacks like this perhaps in western

capitals, yeah and let's just say there is no evidence. zero zilch that ukraine has been involved in any way, shape, or form along these lines. in fact, quite the opposite >> but what >> we have seen is is isis course on which looks like the number of attacks in afghanistan that's where it's based has come down somewhat over the last year. but we've seen plotting in germany, and we've seen plotting in france. and the netherlands and a range of other european countries as well. there are huge arrest last year in a joint german dutch operation in response to this major plot in germany. >> so they've got to ambitions, they've got also ambitions >> against the united states. and we've heard the head of us central command say this within the past few days that the us is also a major target primarily oversees seth andre really appreciate having you, both of us with us tonight and thanks for your perspective and your insight >> thanks, erica >> afferent. next, elon musk starlink technology has been crucial for ukraine in this

house solomon in new york is cns tonight? master >> manipulator, a new hbo original docu series looks at the controversial drug treatment center, the synonym, which started as a first of its kind, residential program to help get people off of drugs in the '50s, it quickly descended though into a cult life community as its leader, chuck d drift gained power and fame >> population grew. chuck began to amass well >> i started to see chuck is a god >> there were rules on which cynon on was bounded, and those were solid until they weren't >> the way we do. if you don't go somewhere else >> chunk storage mandate, behavior, shaved heads vasectomy >> then you're in the military >> everyone must participate in the stablished, uninsured >> violence became a solution

for a job at some point was a master manipulator in so many ways out front now is roy kennedy, director and executive producer of hbo's it's in an on fixed, it's good to have you tonight. i have to say i watched the first episode earlier today in these opening scenes are so jarring, it's this sort of group therapy that then evolved into this violent harsh, it was yelling what prompted you to want to tell this story? it's so gauging >> well, thank you. thank you for watching and thank you for having me on the show. >> i thought this was >> just an incredible story and i was shocked that nobody really knew about it. this is a really the first drug treatment program in the united states. it was helping heroin addicts and santa monica and 1958 very marginalized community. there's lots of stigma with these drug addicts chuck dietrich, welcome them in, and

he had this innovative program where they did this kind of confrontational therapy where people could scream at each other and and call each other out and they loved it. and it was very effective. it got drug users off the street. it got them to stop using. >> it >> was incredibly visionary and, you know, over the over time with power and money, it evolved into as, as you showed in the clip, there weren't many consider to be a cold. >> yeah. it was i hadn't heard of it until watching this and i was really struck by it one of the people that you spoke to for the documentary is chuck d, just daughter, who actually helped her father collect money for the group. i just want to play a little but of what she told you it's terrible >> man >> terrible people suffered >> people were hurt and he did bring cynon on down around him

but all of this incent and on he couldn't have done it without us enabling him >> she talks about the enabling mean people did initially come in for help. and then at one point as this evolved, it seemed like it was really tough for them to leave. how did chuck end up with so much power over them? >> i mean, i i really encourage folks to watch this series because it's so nuanced and complex. and it didn't happen in just one instance. and i really don't think it was the initial intention of the organization i think that chuck was somebody the who had his own limitations and he was a former alcoholic he led this organization and i think like many alcoholics who are in families, they go back to

drinking and there's massive dysfunction and as one of the character says, in the film, he just had a much bigger family to impact so it's, it's hard to know exactly what was the moment where it's switched. it kind of evolved where there were mandates and they start started shaving their heads initially, it was not eang sugar and going on diets and then i was head shaving and then it lead to more extreme behavior, leg forced abortions and vasectomy is and swapping partners but it happened over years. and i think what's fascinating to me is interviewing the people who lived through it and getting their perspective of how they came to make sense of these changes i mean, this is an organization that was founded on two principles. one was no drugs and alcohol, and the other was no violence. and by the end, it had bought more

firearms than anybody in the history of california and they had an open bar in the facility. so how it goes from one extreme to this other extreme, and how the folks who lived through it made sense of that. yeah. is a fascinating story. >> it's certainly is. i don't ask you about your brother, robert kennedy, who was running for president. i know you do not support his campaign. you've called a dangerous i've seen and pull from just last weekend, the key state of michigan found more than half of voters have an unfavorable opinion of both donald trump and joe biden. we know there's voter fatigue with these two candidates. >> when you >> say use your brother's campaign as a danger or is it more about siphoning votes away from joe biden? or is it because of his policies >> it's really about siphoning votes from biden. the polls. i'm seeing bobby 70% of the votes from both button and 30% from trump. and i feel strongly that thi
